Finding Time for Bicycling When You’re Busy

Meta

If you are a biking enthusiast, you probably want to squeeze in at least an hour of cycling on your daily routine. But the reality of hectic schedule, heaps of workloads, and the seemingly endless list of things to do at any given day can make biking plans go down the drain. The good news is you can still fit it in your busy schedule if you want to. Here are some times on how to squeeze a bike ride on a busy workday.

Get a good night’s rest

Lack of sleep makes you feel tired and less inclined to hop on your bike the next day. Figure out how many hours of sleep you need to give your mind and body ample time to rest. If you want to make time for exercise, set a regular sleep-wake schedule that allows for at least 30 minutes of biking before you officially start your day.

Set the alarm earlier than usual

There are many perks in starting your day earlier than most people do. Many highly successful people in their respective fields reveal daily routines that start very early in the morning, which usually includes doing at least an hour of exercise or physical activity they enjoy. The quickest way to find time for a ride is to set your alarm earlier than you usually do, get out of bed when it goes off, and set out on your two wheels.

Consider biking to work

You can take advantage of your daily commute to get the workout you need. Leave the car behind and get to work on your bike. Or set out on some errands on your bike instead of driving around, especially if you only have to travel short distances.

Have a list of quick workouts

If you cannot go on a bike ride, consider other ways to get the exercise you need. There is no dearth of workouts you can squeeze in to your daily routines. You can come up with a list of alternative quick exercises that you can do for a few minutes at any time of the day. Whether it is a 4-minute or 10 minutes workout, having a few minutes of exercise is much better than nothing.
